  The freediving UX on the Garmin Descent Mk2 series seems fine to me. Have you tried it? The battery is rechargable and lasts a long time so there's no need to replace it.

  Interesting. Shearwater is the dominant player in both dive computers and freediving watches. They don't meet your needs?

    As someone who just threw down $500 USD on a Peregrine, I’m curious about this as well. I think there is a real market for this kind of thing, as evidenced by Garmin’s presence with their high end watches and the Teric. I felt like when I paid for the Peregrine I was mostly paying for the screen though - which it still remains to be seen how well this device will perform in that category. I could definitely see myself using the Apple as a primary and the Peregrine as a secondary in 5 years or so as they iterate and make improvements - Shearwater has long been the king of this space but they don’t have the R&D money Apple does.

    I'm mostly experienced with < $500 dive computers, which maybe isn't a fair comparison, but now I have the choice between the expensive apple watch or a single-purpose expensive dive computer. With the Ultra I can also buy or build different software if the UX isn't working for my needs.
